Oregon Football finished the regular season with wins over Arizona State and Oregon State to recover from a 1-3 midseason stretch and finish 8-4. News emerged Sunday that the Ducks’ regular-season exploits earned them a spot in the Red Box Bowl, held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California at noon New Year’s Eve. The bid pairs Oregon with Michigan State, who finished 7-5 and fourth in the Big Ten East. After the announcement, Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal spent time during his afternoon press conference reacting to the news and answering questions about his team’s future.
